Faced with the outbreak of Coronavirus cases, the head of government of Bavaria in Germany announced on Friday the cancellation of all Christmas markets in his region. “The situation is very, very serious and complicated,” Marku Söder said at a press conference in Munich, adding that bars and nightclubs will also be closed in places where infection rates are particularly high.
